What about hooks that aren't hollow ground- no "trams or rails"?? Video for that would be awesome.

Despite the popular opinion of so many other spoon carvers- I sharpen these exactly the same as my hooks that are fullered (tram lines)

I kind of thought so, I just wasn't sure. Most people work the outside more if it isn't hollow ground. I will keep experimenting. Your method seems to work. Maybe I'll make a video of doing it to a knife without trams.

This hook is called The Mellow and is forged by Matt White. His tools are in a preorder basis and I’m not sure which models he has in his upcoming rotation. Here’s a link to his website: www.templemtnwoodcraft.com/

Nice sløjd-poster, just lacking the ø:D

Great work! I am wondering, do you lay the sharpening sticks totally flat to the blade or with a little bit angle if it’s one sided bevel?

@HuronSpoonCo

5 ай бұрын

Good question! I lay them completely flat and make three motions all at once: 1- twisting between my fingers and my thumb through each pass 2-moving all the way from handle to tip (and in some cases all the way from tip to handle) 3-as I make each pass, the sharpening sticks move slightly from spine to cutting edge as well. If you were to just move the stick straight up and down the blade, it would cut the paper. This also helps the burr raise.

That's my biggest problem is trying to hold the tool or sharpener level and even. The 3 blades in the spoon carving set are brand new. The knives, axes, chisels, machetes, etc. are second hand except the one machete which is new but unfinished. It's a beast. I'd like to get them sharpened so they're safer. No shop. Have second hand stones and pucks. Indian Oil stone needs cleaning & refurbishing(?) to get odd slick sheen off it. One new wet stone from asian store. No way to clamp down vice yet. Been watching bushcrafting videos to get general ideas and safety. New at this.

I’ve been looking at pattern maker’s buses lately. They’re designed to hold awkwardly shaped objects so I can imagine they’d be amazing as a work holding to sharpen with

It looks like your spoon knife has a hollow grind in the middle. So you are sharpening the edges. Would your method work on a Mora spoon knife? I believe it is flat on the inside and has a bevel on the outside. Thanks it looks easy when you do it.

@HuronSpoonCo

2 жыл бұрын

The Mora 164 is designed to be sharpened on the outside bevel. That being said, I’ve always done the opposite and have never had an issue. I sharpen all my hooks the same despite popular opinion

@@HuronSpoonCo Thanks, your way looks really simple. Wrap a dowel rod with sandpaper and put on a couple of O rings. Do you think there is an advantage to slicing down the dowel to put the edge of the sandpaper in before rolling it?

Not really. I apply moderate pressure and let the abrasive do all the work. I’ve found that applying too much pressure actually causes deeper scratch patterns, which make each grit take longer
